Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0349947A2] An optical screen module (20) for full-color, on-axis viewing is described. The module has a transmission holographic optical element (25), a louver filter (30), and a diffraction optics diffusion screen (35). Input light (14) is diffracted off-axis by the transmission holographic element (25), passed through the louver filter (30) and rediffracted on-axis by the diffusion screen (35). The module (20) can handle full-color light because the dispersion in the transmission hologram is compensated by that in the diffusion screen (35). The louver filter (30) blocks the undiffracted zero-order light (16) while allowing the light (21, 22, 23) diffracted by the transmission hologram (25) to pass through (Fig. 2).
